As being fairly new to Linux(I have most of the basic commands down). I am not sure what that error means.

Also I am not sure if I can post the link to the location of where I receive the driver and the command it tells me to run... If I am able, I will and let fellow Linux people take a look as to what I am doing wrong.

Thank you for your help.

Before or after downloading the package? Before downloading: best is to download files in your download folder which can be found in you home directory: /home/{username}/Downloads. After downloading: the package itself "knows" where to install all the files.

Well the result of that command is as follow:# cp iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11 /lib/firmwarecp: omitting directory `iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11'

HI,what is really strange so, that when I run from live CD, the wireless card Intel 5100 works correctly, but from same CD after install not. Linux Mint 15 x64bit KDE Why it doesn't work after installation and form Live CD yes?
